Hi Johannes, It does not solve the problem. I got the reply from MM this morning. They completely misunderstand what I want. I've spent few days on this issue and I am about to give up on it. Every time I try to explain what a problem is I get a reply with workaround solution. Sure you can manually adjust the spacing but it is very time consuming to get good results. Why should I calculate mathematical algorithms when I have a computer? By closely examining the spacing after manual adjustments you can see that it's still not 100% accurate. This is very simple to understand but they choose to ignore it. The problem is somewhere in the way Finale stretches the measure in Page View to fill the system. The initial spacing (seen in Scroll View) seems to ignore the "extra space for accidentals and ledger lines", but when stretched in page view adds this extra space unproportionally to some of the measure but not all. The result is anything but 1.618 ratio that they claim Finale is capable off. There are simply not enough people that care about this.
Any suggestions? Dejan Badnjar Musette Desktop Music Publishing 1 Eastview Cres.

However, I might have a fix for you, but test yourself: After having spaced the music, use the full TGTools, Spacing->Expand Spacing, with a value of 0. You could also use compress spacing, I believe, it doesn't matter. This fixes the beat charts for some reason. I am pretty sure it fixes it in most situations. Try it, and if it works for you as it does for me, let us know. I usually only apply the fix when I see a problem, however, it may well be possible to simply apply it to the complete document.
